Hello,

a Wien-Robinson bridge oscillator needs a good amplitude stabilisation.
If the amplification is to low, the oscillations will damp out. I guess
there was something wrong with your amplitude stabilisation.

No, I used non-linear feedback (diodes) and it worked like a champ. O-
scope showed a nice, rounded, stable wave with no clipping. It was
only when the nearby transmitter was turned on, the oscillations
damped out.
